Poor Topper has had continual anal gland probs. since he was a young dude. So much so that we have affectionately named his involuntary expressions as "AL". Short for Anal Leakage. I know, I know...TMI, but this is some nasty stuff. If you don't get those glands expressed, soon enough they tend to express themselves all over your furniture. Or worse, your clothes. Worst...smelling...stuff...EVER! Poor doggie! All that being said, I am forever grateful for those vet techs and groomers who have to deal with this, um, shit on a daily basis. I am not enough of a woman to bring myself to do this even though I do own a DVD (on schnauzer grooming) that shows me the procedure. I will admit that I did fast forward through that entire section.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-81081123603606150712008-02-01T01:52:00.000-05:002008-02-01T01:52:00.000-05:00Pare, by all rights, you should be a rich rich man...Pare, by all rights, you should be a rich rich man.

She was a very picky eater, so I added baby carrots to her meals and that seemed to help. <BR/><BR/>I did express them myself a couple of times. I was just sure to wear gloves and while I was doing it, I covered the entire area with paper towels to minimize the spread of goo. She didn't mind having it done, I'm sure she felt much better after they were expressed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-69940333208756832272008-01-27T20:04:00.000-05:002008-01-27T20:04:00.000-05:00hahaha... i knew someone who had to put their cat ...hahaha... i knew someone who had to put their cat on prozac. the things we do for our pets!Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292864890785861184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-25941569807722215172008-01-25T13:42:00.000-05:002008-01-25T13:42:00.000-05:00LMAO (no pun intended!)LMAO (no pun intended!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-23605044410860255632008-01-25T00:01:00.000-05:002008-01-25T00:01:00.000-05:00The last time my little dog had his glands express...The last time my little dog had his glands expressed (it happens once a year at least) the vet squirted herself in the eye. <BR/><BR/>I waited to laugh until I was outside.thefarmersdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285164600604381321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-55108219391330192402008-01-24T17:32:00.000-05:002008-01-24T17:32:00.000-05:00Dude,You are so funny.

I worked as a Vet...Oh, you're gonna love this one. I worked as a Veterinary Technician for about a dozen years. For a breif time I worked for a real prima donna, who always had to have her clothe, nails and hair "just so" (ESPECIALLY her hair, long flowing curly locks of ebony that she spent the first hour, and every break between appointments, primping.) Instead of deoderizor in the office, we had scented candles. She considered a vital piece of vet office equiptment to be the hot-wax manicure machine. Get the picture?<BR/><BR/>So anyway, one day this enormous Great Dane, about the size of a small draft horse, comes in with impacted anal glads (the same problem as your cat). I hold the dog (from the front end, because I'm the smart one...) while the vet leans over the dogs back to try to express the glands outward and away from her body. Usually that maneuver produced a disgusting smeary splatter on the office wall. But THIS particular day, the angle or something was messed up, and the glob of goo fired upwards and landed -- you guessed it, all over her lucious curls. I nearly gave myself a hernia laughing. She ran around the office flapping her hands like an epileptic monkey, screaming intelligable sounds of horror, then dissappeared into the bathroom for the next 20 minutes with her emergency kit of hair products. (To not much avail -- trust me, you can't get that smell out without a fire hose and a gallon of bleach.)<BR/><BR/>I didn't charge the client for the visit. It's hard to find that quality of entertainment for free. Oh, and I booked them another appointment with the same doctor for the following month -- never can be too careful with those anal glands....Harvest Moon Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13099136352105537579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-50838137606909368692008-01-22T11:27:00.000-05:002008-01-22T11:27:00.000-05:00See, in delightful Britain, it costs £40 just to s...See, in delightful Britain, it costs £40 just to <I>see</I> a vet, no matter whether there is actually anything wrong with your beloved pet or not.

I use to spend a butt load (that was cute) of money to have them groomed and their anal glands fondled. I finally asked what the break down was on the things I was being charged. They let me watch the anal gland discharge procedure. That is NASTY! The stuff that oozed out on that woman's hand was very much worth having someone other than me do it!!! And the stuff smells awful. It must be what they put in gas bombs!
